Mutana Hill
Producer Profile
Mutana’s vast hills approach the edge of the Kibira Forest, which allows mist to fall from the forest and tumble onto farmers’ fields daily. With its mix of silty and sandy soils, Mutana can grow everything people like to eat right alongside coffee. This Private Auction washed lot was processed at Heza Washing Station, which sits at 1,960 masl and proccesses coffee for a number of hills in addition to Mutana. Heza is the second washing station built by Long Miles, and has been in operation since 2014. Heza means ‘beautiful place’ in Kirundi, the local language of Burundi. With panoramic views and an ever-changing East African sky, this washing station lives up to its name.

Kayanza
The most well-known of Burundi's coffee growing regions, Kayanza has mild weather and relatively cool temperatures. Coffees from the highlands of Kayanza benefit from rich, volcanic soils and of course, high elevations.
Red Bourbon
Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon Island (now La Réunion), where it was introduced by French missionaries who had taken a few coffee seeds from Yemen in the 1700s. Along with Typica, Bourbon accounts for the basis of most of the world's coffee production today which is made up of Bourbon and Typica descendant varieties. Bourbon is known for its high-quality potential, susceptibility to disease and relatively low yields. The vast majority of coffee grown in Burundi is Red Bourbon.
